Mama-day
Mama day started with breakfast in bed and hugs and kisses. After waffles and hot cocoa, presents! The Little Woman bought me a delightfully pink pair of earrings, and My Tween gave me a little cilantro plant in a tiny hand painted pot. What more could a mama ask for right?
After breakfast and lolling about, we headed over to moms for lunch, salmon burgers and coconut cake, diet be damned! (for today any way! lol)
So, a quick run-down of the weekend, and then onto what I think will be the format for this whole Mind-o-Melis thing.
Weekend: Band recital for My Tween, pizza and icecream, shopping w. John, new cellphones for The Little Woman and My Tween (the texting has been non-stop, omg!), lunch at moms, roses a-plenty from Ontie and Ray and kiddos, wii, lolling about….blog.com love, chatting with dear friends…
Now, for my Mind-o-Melis moment. Today I am all about gratitude. I could have never predicted or imagined pre-kiddos that my life could be this good. That I get to hear the words I love you Mom over and over again, that I get to listen to giggles and hear amazing ideas from minds that are growing every day is incredible. I am so blessed. And yes, of course, I am totally glossing over the bickering, and the challeneges that come from raising two kids by myself– and maybe today those things are easy to gloss over, because today it is all about the hugs and the love and the happy.
Mama day rocks.
